THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND TELLS US A PASSER BY SPOTTED THESE FLAMES AND MADE THE INITIAL CALL TO 911. THAT'S RIGHT, THAT PASSER BY WAS DRIVING BY AND TOLD FIREFIGHTERS WHEN HE CALLED 911 THAT THE HOME WAS ALREADY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. AT 12:59 IN THE MORNING A PASSER BY SPOTTED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ROOF OF THIS HOME IN DAIRY. BILL LIVES NEXT DOOR. IT WAS HUGE. THE FLAMES WERE PROBABLY 30 FEET IN THE AIR. THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS WITHIN FOUR MINUTES OF GETTING THAT CALL UNITS WERE ON THE SCENE BUT THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET TO THE VICTIM. HAD A HEAVY FIRE COMING THROUGH MOST WINDOWS OF THE HOUSE. THEY ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN ENTRY AND WERE FORCED BACK. TEMPERATURES CREATED PROBLEMS. THE COLD MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AROUND AND WATER FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND ON THE ROADWAY. NO FIREFIGHTERS WERE INJURED AND AFTER 25 MINUTES THE FIRE WAS UNDER CONTROL. ONCE THE FIRE WAS ABLE TO KNOCK DOWN, WE MADE ENTRY AND DISCOVERED WE HAD ONE FIRE VICTIM. THEY DISCOVERED THE MAN'S DOG HAD ALSO DIED IN THE FIRE. THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE BELIEVES THE FIRE MAY HAVE STARTED IN THE LIVING ROOM AND THERE IS NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND FATAL FIRE THIS WEEK SO OFFICIALS ARE SOUNDING A WARNING. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE GOOD WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS THROUGHOUT THE HOME AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORKING PROPERLY. THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE ALSO SAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SECOND EXIT FROM YOUR HOME. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THIS HOME AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE WORKING. FOR THE VICTIM AN AUTOPSY IS BEING DONE LATER TODAY AT WHICH TIME THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE MAY BE ABLE TO RELEASE
